Possibly. I didn't feel like going through the whole post. Shipping would be insane for me, and brewing that much beer without a license is illegal. I know most of us probably go over the legal limits in our states (or don't care), but that's pushing it. I'm sure you paid much more to build that than $9500, but the truth is, I think anyone interested in buying brewery equipment is going to buy larger than a 40 gallon system. This would be something a homebrewer might drool over, but never find it practical enough to buy. I don't think I could drink 720 gallons of beer a month with all of my friends helping me.

there are some concerns I would have with this set up, what size batch are you brewing? 720 gal a month isn't telling you much. The fermenters are plastic (on a commercial scale I would be concerned about scratches harboring contaminants). It looks like it would brew some beer though

I know a guy that is looking to go pro. I'll point him at that auction, no guarantee he will go for it though, I think he is looking to start a little bigger. Could be a good pilot system for someone that is much larger maybe?

Not a very good price for a used 1 barrel system. I've seen 7-barrel systems go for less than $20K. On the other hand, you could recover part of the price selling the 260 cornies.

The cost on the fermenting tanks with stands is about a thousand dollars and there are 6 included, so for each additional one of those purchased you would be able to add 120 gallons per month capacity. This system as-is was keeping up with a restaurant that had $15,000 - $20,000 in total alcohol+food sales per week with 13 microbrews on tap. The brewer was working 1-2 days a week brewing 3 - 40 gallon batches per day.

Here is a link for a complete microbrewery system for sale on ebay. Starting at $9,500 with no reserve. Is it a good deal?

Looks like a lot of stuff for the money, but how about coming on and saying "Hey, I have this for sale" instead of spamming with your first post and then moving into sales pitch mode with your second post?
